The goal needed my spouse to harvest 50 wheat, so I have to harvest a lot!Definitely I need to buy myself some energy. Previously I understand 100food can give you 15energy. And did you notice? They increased to 200food for 11 energy! This is day light robbing! I don’t understand why do you want to make such changes. Is this gonna be fair for your so called pioneer group? Solving your teething issues?

I’ve make complaint at their facebook page. I wonder do they respond to me. I’m playing half way now, luckily I have enough food with me. But that’s not gonna survive for long even if I have back up energy from the collections.

Zynga, if you want to earn horse shoes credit, do it in a better way man! People play games wanna get relax, get happier, but now, you make my whole neighbourhood feel so disappointed!

Perhaps, they wanna cut off some users of FrontierVille to solve their loading problem. Less user play sure can help to load faster, right?

Update: The energy has just adjusted. I love your changes! Thank you!

Remember back then when we play barn buddy in the earliest stage, we need to do a lot of steps only then we can harvest it. Although I complain a lot of how boring it was to set my alarm on time to take care of my crops, but I found it interesting still!

But soon when lots of things have been invent into it, I start to get over it and switch to Cafe World. Yet another popular demand games in FB. Crazy for the cooking things, looking for recipes, even I cant eat or smell it, but I found it must be yummilicious!

There’s lots of other games keep popping in FB nowadays, like my empire is also on the hit now. But I don’t know whats the reason and motive I’m playing it.

In the end, I found this, FrontierVille. It seems like its combination of a few great games. You can build, you can hunt, you can plant, you can even get married over here. Isn’t that sounds more interesting? At least you would be eager to know what’s gonna happen at the next stage.

In 4 days time, I’ve been running up to Level 12. Competing with my friends, we seems to be like after one another.

Here I write up a few tips in playing FrontierVille.

• you really need to have lots of neighbour. You need to visit them daily.
• Of course, your neighbour must be supportive, as we need to always exchange gift.
• There’s gonna be bear inside the forest, but don’t bother it as they don’t bite. Same things, there’s gonna be snake in the grass and groundhog in the crops.
• Here’s a quick tips, if the areas were highlighted by those bugs, just go to the arrow key and move the crops or your animal so that they will be out of the danger zone.
• In the beginning, I will need to cut lots of tree. As I need wood to build. So normally when I visit to my neighbours, I will cut trees there, at least it doesn’t waste me energy and i gain coins and reputation. Not bad right?
• Be a smart farmer, plant more spent less. You will get lots of xp, and it will refill your energy when you level up. So don’t simply spend on your food exchange. So plant more, the more you harvest, the more food you can keep. Keep some food for the rainy days. Try to plant crops that took longer days to harvest, at least take the 12 hours type. It’s better deal than you waste your energy on a few coins thingy.
• Pumpkins are good, as you collect the treasure in your collections, it allows you to exchange for 5 energy.
• As for the animals, I don’t really bother them. Sometimes when I’m running out of energy, I just leave it there. When I have extra, only then  I feed them. At this moment, animals doesn’t help much. Just sometimes I get some treasure collections from them.
• Trees were good too. Although buying a tree is pretty expensive. but they are less hassle. You just have to water for the first few times, then after that it harvest all year long. Even if you left it, it won’t die.  Sometimes when I do harvesting for tree, I get extra energy. That’s pretty cool!

A few drawbacks of this game:

• Since we are the pioneer batch, i bet I shouldn’t complain much. But still there are certain issues like can’t add the neighbours and gifts will disappear.
• The connection were not stable, when I’m happily earning coins and experience (xp) and it suddenly pop out the error msg. That is not fun at all!
• Loading to the game took sometime. Maybe is my own internet connection problem. But it really take me ages to load the game. I understand, maybe too much graphics to load.
• Energy in the games run out very fast, and the ratio of food and energy exchange were over high. But that’s the game, of course they prefer to give us more difficulties so that we could buy credits from them.
• The gift request session were too limited. You can only request it once per day. And I could hardly wait for it.

Let’s exchange more reviews here.
I’m hoping to see greater things in the coming level. Hope that Zynga will read this.

Cafe World is just like the other interactive game that makes you addicted over it and it would be the best diet plan as you would play day and night and forgetting your meal.

As usual I will share my experiences in playing FB’s games so that more of you could join me in the game.

I just started to play Cafe World yesterday after the invitation of my friend. You would need to have neighbors in order to get more benefits such as visiting them daily and receiving gifts from each other.

Cafe World would be quite similar to Restaurant City . I did some comparison to RC and found out Cafe World is easier to interact and it cut down the unnecessary steps in RC.

Talk about tricks, every game are built to use our wisdom. I noticed that in the first few level, you might be running out of time, so spare a stove for the short time recipe such as burger and salad. The other stoves can spared it for long cooking recipe. Make sure you calculate the time before you start cooking, or else it will just gone to waste as you did not serve it when its ready.

Another tricky thing I could find is the door. You might worry your customer run away when your food are not ready. If you worry that will leave a bad impression to your customers then you could sell off the door and put it back when your food are ready for business. I’m not sure how useful is that at least your Buzz Rating wont keep dropping. Don’t worry the door is “free”.

Alright, that’s all my findings so far. Would share out more after I level up. Good luck in your game and do share with me if you have better tricks.

During my last holiday, i’ve decided to give myself a break into my online game. Yay, i tell myself that the plants are just a game. I can’t eat that , I can’t sell it, after all it was just a game. Why am i so serious??

Hence i’ve decided to make it a charity. I plant all the expensive crops, and leave it for my friend to steal. There must be someone to sacrifice to make the game more exciting isn’t it? Just like a crime scene, got police got criminals.

Before I really ended up my barn buddy game, I bet the most important tricks to play this game without someone stealing your crops is to manage your time wisely.

Final tips:

• Plant all the same seeds at the same time its easier to manage your crops.
• Calculate the time make sure it wont harvest during your sleeping hour.
• Fertilize every stage, except last step.
• During the last stage, set your alarm, fertilize your plant in less than 60min so that you can directly harvest your plant. By using this way, the thief cant get you.

That’s all folks!

enjoy.. and here’s another tribute to michael jackson.

Michael Jackson’s graveyard.

Imagine, I need to set alarm on my phone just to make sure I remember to harvest on time. I need to calculate what is the harvest time, just in case I sleep late in the morning. That is really killing me.

Its time to stop my craziness over Barn Buddy.

I’ve receive several invitations to start playing at Farm Town. They told me Farm Town is more interesting, which I just choose to ignore firstly when I was so addicted to Barn Buddy. As I took a day off yesterday, I try to explore out and it does amazed me.

BARN BUDDY vs FARM TOWN

1. NO STEALING
Basically this is the best part of Farm Town, but end up it also lead to less aggressiveness towards the game. In Barn Buddy, even you have a guard dog with you, your crops can still be stolen. Wasted all the efforts after waiting for days to get your crops harvested and stolen by all your “friends”. Hey , thats the game. Take it or Leave it.

2. Plenty of seeds, animals, trees, flowers and tools.
In Farm Town, you wont get bored. Maybe in the early stage like me, I might be experiencing the poor graphic layout, and thinking that why so stupid to plant a few things only. Its actually go by level up, and you will get more chances to get more functions over the game. Not like what I have in Barn Buddy, other than weed, water or remove bugs, I got nothing much to do. Oh ya, just one thing, they teach kids to do stealing! What a good moral education here.

3. Interactive
You can chat with your friend while you are on the game, and even can join the market place to get interactive with people who are not under your same network.

4. Earn coins easily
The best part of the game, you have chance to get hire in the market place to work at their farm and you earn some coins! You don’t have to steal, but its really through your hard work. From time to time, there will be notifications on your farm asking you to help out your friend’s farm. You earn coins too!

5. Creativity
In Barn Buddy, the graphic and the sound seems very good. But even up to high level, your capabilities is only up to there. Things are different here in Farm Town. When you get to higher level, you can buy more things and that can really amaze yourself with your own creativities. I found one of this amazing farm. You see it , you’ll understand it.

So now, which one would you prefer?

Decision is on your hand. I’m going to my farm now. Come, Join me!

I’ve start to ignore my barn buddy, maybe because it took me so long to harverst. And once I did not aware of my crops, it was all stolen by my friends. So I think I’ve gotta switch my concentration to something new.

I found out a new interesting game called, “Typing Maniac”.

Seriously, it is just a challenge for the typing fanatic like me.

I’m now at Rank 2, come and challenge me la!

Maybe its kind of “Kepo” spirit that makes me wanna know what’s the update among my friends. Ok, that’s part of the kepo-chi..

Other than the status update thingy, I never try to explore or utilize the other add on applications, not until I found this game! Barn Buddy.

This is my Farm. I’m growing to Level 2. WTH! I dunno why, I’m still ranking at number 4 among my friends.

There’s  ranking list at the right panel. Always at the top1: Tony Liaw continue with Florence and Sil.

The fun part of this game, if you are envy with someone, you can go steal their harvest. Wakakaka!

But I can’t attack Florence anymore.
She got a Watch Dog recently.I guess she successfully recruited 10 friends to play this game.

%@$@$@$@ Was bitten by his dog , and lost 5 coins. Wuwuwu…

I can be kind hearted as well. When their farm is full of weeds, I can use my weed spray to save their plants. See.. I’m so good!

.
Back to my farm, I’m going to Level up soon after all my eggplants grow. Hehehe. I do wonder, how does it look like when it can be expanded. Will it be something like Harvest Moon?

I simply like this game, its not time consuming, its just as easy as u check your facebook updates. Quick quick go join the game and steal my plants before I got myself a watch dog. Kekeke.. Never say its childish, cos kids don’t like facebook!
